Having had one for a couple of months, I'm leaning towards evil. I've never had lower back or leg pains before, and now I do. The only thing that's changed from before is the chair I use.

Paul M Watt6-Jun-02 16:47 Paul M Watt 6-Jun-02 16:47  I really enjoyed them. I especially liked all of the levers and gadgets that they have. But I no longer work at that job so I not longer get that enjoyment. I noticed that my legs hurt every now and then in that chair, but my back felt really good in that chair. Also I would sit cross-legged sometimes and that seemed to solve my leg aches. One other thing is they come in 3 sizes (A,B,C), are you sure you have the size that best fits your body type?

Len Holgate5-Jun-02 21:10 Len Holgate 5-Jun-02 21:10  Perhaps you have it set up wrong? Or perhaps it's the wrong size for you. They come in a number of different sizes and when I was trying them out I found the ones that didn't fit to be very uncomfortable. Then it took me a while to get it set up correctly, since then it's been great. Len Holgate www.jetbyte.com The right code, right now. Re: Aeron chairs, good or evil? Michael Dunn5-Jun-02 21:36 Michael Dunn 5-Jun-02 21:36  I just now looked at the Herman Miller site and saw the different sizes... I'll have to see if I can get a bigger size, or heck just get a regular ol' chair. --Mike-- Just released - RightClick-Encrypt - Adds fast & easy file encryption to Explorer Like the Google toolbar?

But for the last 1 year I have had recurring back pain and occasionally neck pain too. I also get sudden attacks of headache. I have a sinus problem at times but this is the no-sinus headache. I occasionally used to have migraines too during my teens. And about an year ago I had severe eye pain and suddenly everything was blurry. Smitha thought I was blind. The doc said [I somehow managed to get there] that I had something called CVS which is Computer Vision Syndrome. During my teens I used to sit late at night with my computer and the lights used to be switched off too as everyone complained that the light reflected through the ventilator maybe all that has compunded with the fact that I sit in front for 16 hours a day.
